[mythtv] I modified mythweb to stream mp3's

[Boyd II, Willy]

Bear with me because my knowledge of streaming is rather light too, but what
advantages does icecast/shoutcast have other direct streaming of the files
to players which can read over a network (xmms, etc.)?  Like the
andromeda.php script (see http://www.turnstyle.com/andromeda/home.asp,
there's a php version too), it just sends a playlist through your browser,
so your preferred player uses that standard playlist & streams the songs,
you can pause, go to next song, etc.  That seems better than a constant,
non-controlled stream.  Can the player control in myth support this?  Do
other devices (PDAs , etc.) only play icecast/shoutcast streams?

> Are you referring to mythweb or mythweb2.

mythweb .11 is mythweb2..   ie. there is no more mythweb2.

If people can get a good open source streaming config set up for
mythweb, I'm happy to commit the changes.  I don't know anything about
streaming, so it it doesn't do me much good.

I'd actually be happier it the backend itself started doing this - I
know that people are working on (or planning to work on) this sort of
thing, so we can have mythmusic files shared via the backend instead of
networked file systems...  If they stick to proper streaming rules, it
should be pretty easy to just stream to a php script that passes the
stream along to the user.

but like I said, I don't know anything about streaming....
